There is now a wealth of information that has illuminated the risks of heavy metals, particularly mercury poisoning. While many products that used to have mercury have been upgraded to safer materials, the public is still exposed to the element from fish and other foods. Many people are curious as to what birth defects mercury poisoning can have on their children.

No level of mercury is safe for humans, and some studies have suggested that mercury can lead to birth defects. Some researchers believe that the heavy metal may be the cause of autism in children. Many of the characteristics of autism are akin to those of mercury poisoning, such as psychiatric disturbances and defects in speech, language and hearing.
